Abstract: Addressing the current status of teaching quantum mechanics in undergraduate chemistry programs, the structural chemistry course group at Xiamen University has developed an undergraduate quantum mechanics module by integrating the disciplines of structural chemistry and general university physics. This paper explores the teaching content and methods of this new course and provides a future outlook for its development.

Key words: Structure chemistry, Quantum mechanics, Teaching methods
